Benedict Choi, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR, IFS Informed
Suicidal Thoughts are not permanent nor are they always signs that you are actually wanting to kill yourself. For clients that come in with passive suicidal ideation, it is critical to first understand this and then to get curious about why there may be a part that may be considering not wanting to be in this world. anymore. It is also important to pay attention to the intentions of these parts that are wanting client to self harm, as they may be pointing to deeper unmet needs and longings. I am skilled in safety planning, and have been trained in CAMS (Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality), an evidence-based approach to treating people suffering from serious thoughts of self-harm.

Suicidal
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Suicidal thoughts often emerge when emotional pain has exceeded a person’s perceived capacity to carry it, and no other form of relief feels imaginable. I approach suicidal ideation directly and without panic, shame, or avoidance, distinguishing a desire for pain to end from intent to die while taking every level of risk seriously. Treatment includes ongoing assessment, collaborative safety planning, strengthening support, and addressing the experiences beneath the crisis. Safety remains foundational, but the work does not end with keeping someone alive; it also asks what has made life feel unlivable and what must change for genuine connection, agency, and reasons for living to become possible. This reflects established guidance emphasizing direct assessment and collaborative safety planning.
